I am trying to use pypcie to write a small piece of code,
I have installed the package in vs code using pip, but when I try to run the code
it gives me the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

from mmap import mmap, PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE, PAGESIZE
ImportError: cannot import name 'PROT_READ' from 'mmap' (unknown location)
the line that I have traced this back to is in the pyPCIe package that I have installed
from mmap import mmap, PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE, PAGESIZE
Am I missing a step in setup to use the package properly?
I assumed mmap is a built-in package and not needed to isntall via pip, since when I try to run
pip install mmap
it returns Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mmap
The pyPCIe package you're trying to use will only work on Linux, as you can see in the classifiers list on its PyPI page.
You're evidently on Windows, so that package will not work.
